  • 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English Hello and welcome to 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.

  • I'm Rob and is it a bird?

  • Is it a plane?

  • No, it's super-fin.

  • Ah-ha!

  • Well, not super-fin, hi Rob.

  • It's just fin, actually, and I'm no superhero.

  • Yeah, that's a shame.

  • So you don't have any special superpowers,

  • amazing skills and abilities that can be used for saving people and fighting against evil?

  • Well, lots of powers, but no superpowers, I'm afraid not.

  • Superheroes, of course, tend to be fictional characters.

  • They're made-up characters who appear in comics and books and movies.

  • You mean characters like Batman, Spider-Man, and Wonder Woman.

  • So, do you have a favourite?

  • I do, actually, Spider-Man was my favourite when I was growing up and he can climb up walls and I really wanted to do the same.

  • I tried to climb up the walls in my house and, sadly,

  • I failed because superheroes are fictional, they aren't real.
